A manual of anatomy . andtriangular in shape and rests against the diaphragm. The dorsal surface [fades posterior) is convex, the greater rightportion being broad while the lesser left portion is narrow and comes 3IO THE ALIMENTARY TRACT to a point. To the left of the midUne of the Uver is the deep vertebralgroove where the Uver is moulded around the protruding vertebracolumn. The greater portion of this surface is uninvested withperitoneum and is called the uncovered area. This area is from 2 to 3inches (5 to cm.) from above downward to 4 to 5 inches (10 cm.) from side to side. This surface presents from right toleft, the uncovered area with the adrenal impression {impressiosuprarenalis), the fossa for the inferior vena cava (fossa vena cava),the base of the caudate lobe, the fissure for the ligamentum venosum andthe esophageal groove (impressio esophagea). The inferior, or visceral surface (fades inferior), presents fromright to left the following: Starting across the upper part is seen first. Left, lateralligament Suspensory ligamentRound ligamentUmbilical notch Gall-bladder Fig. 225.—Ventral and right surfaces of the liver. (From a photograph.) the large renal impression (impressio renalis), then the traiisverse, orportal fissure with the processus caudatus of the caudate lobe above it;then the fissure for the ligamentum venosum (fossa ductus venosi); the omental tuberosity (tuber omentale) that fits into the lessercurvature of the stomach; lastly, the gastric impression (impressiogastrica) that accommodates the ventral surface of the the lower part of this surface (right to left) are seen: first, thecolic depression (impressio colica) below the renal impression; theduodenal depression (impressio duodenalis) above and to the left;next, the gall-bladder in \i^ fossa (fossa vesica fellece); then, the qjiad-rate lobe with the pyloric depression (impressio pyloris); the umbilicalfissure for the round ligament; and lastly, the end of
